Lynn I own a Wrangler there fore a/c is taking the top off of it and going really fast down the highway!!!! Doesn’t cut it with the humidity…heat without the humidity is fine but we reached 110 today and hotter tomorrow…wish I could call in sick the rest of the week and stay right here bloggin in the a/c! or move to where Fedora resides!!!

Yep, I’m with Rhonda, it’s DAMN HOT!!!!!! And getting hotter. And it’s bothering my sinuses . However, if I can get through today & tomorrow, I’m on vacation and won’t be back until Wednesday…. . I’ve not had any time off all summer. My idea time off would be the closet hotel in the Gardendale area with a pool and some great summer drink….

Sarah, bless your heart! I thought it would be cooler up there. Eek!

Jen, it’s not called Hotlanta for nothing. It’s the humidy that’s getting me.

Susan, 99? 100? At that point, what’s the difference, right? It still feels the same. They’re doing road construction around here and my heart goes out to those guys working those crews.

Sherry, that’s terrible! I just looked at our weather and we’re looking at 105 on Friday–without the heat index. I want an early fall!

Kimberly, it absolutely sucks, doesn’t it?

Andrea, fall? What’s fall? Lately it seems like we go directly from summer to spring.

Kira, supposedly us Southerners have character. More than likely our brains are merely addled from the heat.

Lynne, we definitely need a smiley with steam coming off of it.

Fedora! 59? Really? Truly? Where are you? I might consider relocating.

I’m so sorry, everyone! This explains why I don’t live somewhere that gets so hot in the summer–I would just explode. Either that, or spend the entire day at the supermarket in front of the freezer case… According to weather.com, it’s currently 59 where we are, with a predicted high of 77. Sending cool thoughts across the country!

Y’all are gonna think I’m a nut, but this Alabama heat isn’t bothering me. I think it’s because the humidity isn’t as bad as I’d expected. Coming from Hawaii, I’d psyched myself up for really hot, steamy, muggier than hell weather. So far, it’s like Hawaii here (when the wind blows), only a little hotter. Now, when the wind doesn’t blow, yeah, it ain’t Hawaii.

I’ve also lived in Maryland, and I think that heat is worse than this. Sarah, you poor thing! You need AC! I had a car once in MD that didn’t have AC, but I only had to drive a mile to work in it. Whew.

My parents just went to Houston for the week. You think it’s hot here…. Apparently, it’s a bit muggier there. (Where is a smiley with steam coming off it when you need one?)

Ah, August in the south. Remind me again why I love it here?

I missed the memo where they voted to move Alabama to the surface of the fricking sun. This weather is just ridiculous. My dogs won’t even go outside. My new sod is dying no matter how much I water it.

When is fall supposed to get here???
